RIPPLE PANEL
Notes for Ripple Panel:
1. The ripple pattern is easy to do, but it's important to remember that you may need to work several rows before the ripple pattern becomes clear.
2. The ripple in this design is created by working dc3tog to form 'valleys' and 3 dc all in one st to form 'peaks'. In each row, take care to work dc3tog over the 3 sts in each 'valley' and 3 dc in the center dc of each 'peak.'
3. Yarn color is changed to make stripes. To change color, work last st of old color to last yarn over, yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete st. Proceed with new color. Fasten off old color.
Stripe Sequence for Ripple Panel: Work *2 rows each with F, E, I, H, G, D and B, then 1 row each with F, E, I, H, G, D and B; rep from * until 82 rows have been completed, ending with the fourth rep of a single row of G as the last row you work.
With F, ch 42.
Row 1: Dc in 5th ch from hook, dc in next 3 ch, *3 dc in next ch, dc in next 5 ch, dc3tog, dc in next 5 ch; rep from * to last 6 ch, 3 dc in next ch, dc in next 5 ch – 3 ripples.
Row 2: Ch 1, turn, sk first st, sl st in next st, ch 3 (does not count as a st), dc in next 4 sts, *3 dc in next st, dc in next 5 sts, dc3tog, dc in next 5 sts; rep from * to last 6 dc, 3 dc in next st, dc in next 5 sts.
Change to E.
Rep Row 2 changing colors following Stripe Sequence until all 82 rows have been completed.
Change to D.
Filling Valleys
Next Row (RS): With D, ch 1, turn, sk first st, sl st in next st, ch 4 (does not count as a st), dc in next st, hdc in next st, sc in next st, sl st in next 2 sts, sk next st, sc in next st, hdc in next st, dc in next 2 sts, *tr3tog, dc in next 2 sts, hdc in next st, sc in next st, sl st in next 2 sts, sk next st, sc in next st, hdc in next st, dc in next 2 sts; rep from * to last dc, tr in top of beg ch.
Fasten off.
Filling Valleys along Foundation Row
Next Row (RS) From RS, working across opposite side of foundation ch, join B with sl st in ch at base of last st of Row 1, ch 1, sc in same ch, hdc in next ch, dc in next 2 ch, tr3tog, dc in next 2 ch, hdc in next ch, sc in next ch, *sl st in next 2 ch, sk next ch, sc in next ch, hdc in next ch, dc in next 2 ch, tr3tog, dc in next 2 ch, hdc in next ch, sc in next ch; rep from * end with sl st in last st.
Fasten off.
SHELL PANEL
Notes for Shell Panel:
1. Shell Panel is worked along one edge of Strip III.
2. Color is changed to form stripes.
To change color, work last st of old color to last yarn over, yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete st. Proceed with new color. Fasten off old color.
Row 1: From RS and following Assembly Diagram, join A with sl st in corner ch-2 sp of Square I of Strip III, ch 1, sc in same sp, *(sk next 2 dc, Shell in next dc, sk next 2 dc, sc in next dc) 3 times, sk next 2 dc, Shell in next dc, sk next dc, sc in seam between Square; rep from * 5 more times, (sk next 2 dc, Shell in next dc, sk next 2 dc, sc in next dc) 3 times, sk next 2 dc, Shell in next dc, sk next dc, sc in corner ch-2 sp – 28 Shells.
Change to C.
Row 2: With C, ch 5 (counts as dc, ch 2), turn, sc in ch-1 sp of first Shell, ch 2, dc in next sc, *ch 2, sc in ch-1 sp of next Shell, ch 2, dc in next sc; rep from * across – 28 sc, 29 dc, and 56 ch-2 sps.

FINISHING
Notes
1. Follow Assembly Diagram while joining pieces.
If desired, pin pieces tog before joining.
2. When joining, you will be working through 2 thicknesses. After working a few sts, pause to examine your work. You may want to work more or fewer sts to make an attractive edge.
Join Strip II and Shell Panel
Hold Strip II and Shell Panel with WS tog and long edges matching. From RS and working through both thicknesses, join A with sc in first corner, sc evenly spaced all the way across the long edges.
Fasten off.
Join Strip II and Ripple Panel
Hold Strip II and Ripple Panel tog with WS tog and long edges matching. With A, join in same way as previous joining.
Join Ripple Panel and Strip I
With A, join in same way as previous joining.
Border
From RS, join A with sl st anywhere along outside edge of Afghan.
Rnd 1: Ch 1, work sc evenly spaced all the way around outer edge, working (sc, hdc, sc) in each corner; join with sl st in first sc.
